Winery Review: "Don’t let the pale garnet color fool you:  this is a substantial wine.  Aromas of red fruits and spice complement undertones of cranberries, wild berries, and plums.  On the palate, ripe tannins and good body make for an incredibly rich, yet easygoing red wine.  Pair this wine with sausage, spicy curry sauces, hot soppressata, and tandoori chicken."

My Review: On the nose, this wine had a very fruity, cherry-like aroma to it.  The fruitiness was very apparent, almost like a strong cherry candy or drink, maybe even kool-aid.  The taste was bitter, wild, earthy, and not fruity at all, completely opposite of what I was expecting from the smell.  Had little hints of citrus but not enough to make an impression.  Overall, I didn't like this wine at all and wouldn't recommend.
